KippsDeSanto & Co. advises Sabel Systems Technology Solutions on its sale to Sagewind Capital
KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the sale of its client, Sabel Systems Technology Solutions, LLC (“Sabel” or the “Company”), to Sagewind Capital, LLC (“Sagewind”).
Sabel is a leading provider of digital R&D, acquisition, and sustainment solutions focused on the modernization of weapons and other mission critical operational readiness platforms for the Department of Defense (“DoD”). The Company’s digital engineering services focus on the enhancement of program product lifecycle management and provide DoD customers with valuable insights to make informed operational decisions. Sabel has utilized SBIR programs to develop its Digital Engineering Cloud (“DEC”), offering a comprehensive digital engineering solution to multiple DoD agencies through access to leading industry tools and vendors.
The acquisition represents a new platform for Sagewind, a U.S. company, and offers Sabel a new partner at a crucial inflection point in its growth trajectory. Sabel’s digital engineering solutions align with key government priorities and are strategically positioned to address mission critical modernization initiatives for the DoD.
We believe this transaction highlights several key trends in the M&A market
• Significant market interest in companies providing advanced digital engineering capabilities, particularly those aligned with government modernization initiatives;
• Investors are targeting firms with deep industry knowledge and innovative solutions, aiming to enhance their portfolios with specialized capabilities that drive long-term growth; and
• Private equity activity in the market remains high as “buy-and-build” strategies continue to establish portfolio companies with strong customer reputations, industry-leading solutions, and ability to scale
